Who Said Vacuuming Can't Be Fun? Meet the Dyson CleanTrace™

Dyson is redefining the way we think about household cleaning with their latest innovation, the Dyson CleanTrace™. This new system marries advanced software with practical hardware to transform vacuuming into a high-tech, but entertaining task. The Dyson CleanTrace™ consists of two primary components. The first is a software feature accessible via the MyDyson™ app, which uses augmented reality (AR) technology to let users visualize their cleaning path in real-time. This means you can actually see where you’ve cleaned and easily spot any areas you might have missed. The second component is a hardware device: a phone clamp that attaches to the wand of your Dyson Gen5detect™ vacuum. This clamp positions your phone’s camera in an optimal spot to track and record the vacuum's path.

The Dyson CleanTrace™ POV

Using AR to visualize your vacuuming route not only confirms a thorough clean but also increases cleaning efficiency by highlighting missed areas. This feature is inspired by the navigational capabilities of the Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ robot vacuum, bringing similar high-level intelligence to manual cleaning. After finishing your vacuuming, you can detach your phone from the clamp and use it to perform a final scan of the room, ensuring that no spots have been overlooked and affirming a well-done job.

The Dyson CleanTrace™ is compatible with the Dyson Gen5Detect™ cordless vacuum cleaner, which supports both the Fluffy Optic™ and Motorbar™ cleaner heads. As for mobile device compatibility, the system currently works with LiDAR-enabled iPhones including the iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, and iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Users who own a Dyson Gen5Detect™ can access the CleanTrace™ software via the MyDyson™ app, where it is available as a module on the home screen of the registered device. Starting in June 2024, the Dyson CleanTrace™ phone clamp will be available for purchase directly from Dyson, either through their website or in-store.

In short, the Dyson CleanTrace™ turns a boring chore into something pretty cool. If you want to make your cleaning more entertaining, this is definitely the way to go!
